• 7 tablespoons olive oil (alternatively: 7 tablespoons room temperature margarine or unsalted butter)
• 1 teaspoon low sodium baking powder (Optional: Can use regular baking powder)
• 12 inch pie pan or round Springform pan for easy tart removal. If you use smaller baking pan you will have sufficient dough for 2 mini tarts.

Filling

• 12 oz (1 ½ cups) 0 fat Plain Greek Yogurt (alternatively: 12 oz Tofutti)

• Place Marion's Smart Delights mix in a bowl; add baking powder and mix with whisk.
• Add olive oil, egg, and mix until evenly blended.

Filling and Baking

Mini Tarts: When using mini baking pans proceed similar to how you would proceed with a regular size tart: Spray or grease baking pan with GF spray, butter or oil. Spread prepared dough with your finger tips throughout the mini tart or pie pan. Push dough up very slightly at the edge creating a slight lip to help hold the filling ingredients. Bake for 30-40 minutes; tart is ready when golden brown on edges and tart starts loosing from edges and the filling inside has become firm. Take tart from oven. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slightly tilting from mini baking pan and letting cool on cooling rack.

Reduced Sugar: To reduce sugar and/or amount or calories by a small amount, leave out the chocolate chips, the tart will still have a nice chocolaty flavor.

To reduce the sugar and calories significantly, divide the tart into 24 slices instead of 12. A little slice will go a long way to satisfy any chocolate craving. Depending on your preference, you can replace semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cacao.
